Abstract

Several Hong Kong theologians often reference the works of Hauerwas, a renowned American theologian, rather than other prominent voices in theological ethics; thus, the paper analyses selected Hong Kong theologians’ understanding of and engagement with Stanley Hauerwas’ theological convictions with reference to the Occupy Central and Umbrella Movements, and the Hong Kong theologians’ dialogue with each other around Hauerwas’ convictions. The self-proclaimed Hong Kong Hauerwasians’ engagement with Hauerwas’ convictions regarding the Occupy Central and Umbrella Movements makes an excellent starting place for Hong Kong Christians as a community to contemplate the public nature of their collective thoughts and actions.
